The "Manchuria Daily News' of October 30 states:—Bean oil has sunk below 8.Y. 8 in future' price, a thing unknown for some years past. The inclusion of Antwerp in the war theatre has done much to dampen the market, as previously mentioned. Notwithstanding, some local exporters have large contracts to fill. Messrs, Yuasa Ca., for instance, has contracts for 70,000 cases. They are waiting to hear from their clients in Europe ae to what port to consign the goods to. There is no denying that in the present war time demands for bean oil have seriously fallen off on the Continent, but at the same time it is no less true that the supply of materials for making oil has also remarkably decreased.
